Where is the back to back comparison? SO far all I know is that piping airfrom in front of the radiators (LTI/CAI) makes more power than drawing in in from behind (SRI). However, the OEM airbox also draws air from in front.
Yes, but the the internal structure of the factory air box is more convoluted than simply having a filter leading into straight pipe. That is where the limitations of the stock intakes are found even with new filters come from and that is why I believe that they can't produce the same power gains as a set of long tube intakes.
